Quartz has a white streak.
Amethyst, being quartz, would have a white streak.
Rose quartz typically exhibits a pale to medium pink color with a white streak.
Pyrite and gold leave streaks because they are softer than the streak plate, allowing fine particles to be left behind. Quartz is harder than the streak plate, so it does not leave a streak when rubbed against it.
Tiger Eye, a form of quartz, would have a white streak, as would all forms of quartz.

The mineral Quartz leaves a colorless streak.
Flint is one of many forms of quartz, and its streak will be determined by impurities (non quartz) present. Quartz itself will have a white streak. Flint is a composite formed from quartz, and is not a specific mineral.
Quartz does not leave a streak behind when rubbed against a streak plate. This is because quartz has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, making it harder than the streak plate, which is typically made of porcelain and has a hardness of around 6. As a result, quartz will not produce a colored streak and will instead leave a scratch on the plate.

The streak of pink quartz, like that of other varieties of quartz, is typically colorless or white. Streak refers to the color of the powder produced when a mineral is scraped across a hard surface. While the external color of pink quartz may vary, its streak remains consistent due to its mineral composition. This characteristic helps in identifying quartz and distinguishing it from other minerals.

White.
Gold and pyrite leave a streak because they are both metallic minerals, which means they can rub off on a streak plate, leaving a colored line that reflects their metallic composition. In contrast, quartz is a non-metallic mineral with a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, making it too hard to leave a streak when rubbed against a streak plate. As a result, quartz typically does not produce a streak.
Diamond and quartz are colorless minerals that also have a colorless streak. This means that when these minerals are scratched against a white ceramic plate, they leave behind a streak that is also colorless.
